Harry graduated from Higbee high school in 1949. He married Dorothy Marie Riley on April 1, 1950 in Higbee, MO. She preceded him in death on October 19, 2009. Harry and Dorothy began owning and operating the IGA grocery store in Madison in 1958 and did so for 39 + years. Outside of the grocery store he farmed, raised cattle, hogs, sheep, horses and birds. Harry loved hunting, fishing and spending time outdoors, but his favorite past time was spending time with his family which was his greatest accomplishment. He was an active member of the Madison Businessmen’s Association, Madison Volunteer fire department, Masonic Lodge and the Madison Methodist church. Harry played a role in implementing the Monroe County Ambulance District where at one time he served as the Vice President. In earlier years he enjoyed making the various Christmas decorations which he would display with the thousands of Christmas lights for all the community to enjoy. He also enjoyed showing old cars and traveling to numerous car shows and parades around Madison. He most certainly enjoyed spending his afternoons at the Madison Community Center drinking coffee and telling tales with his coffee buddies. Harry will truly be missed by many.
